Online Course Details:

From Bugatti Veyron to Volkswagen Beetle, from racing to passenger car: study about their acceleration and braking and learn from two applications from automotive mechatronics.

In this first part of Vehicle Dynamics, we illuminate the longitudinal dynamic aspects of vehicles.
Clear and brief: acceleration and braking.
In Detail: After an introduction, we will look at driving resistances and slip, explain the demand of power and limits of a car, then clarify the needs for a clutch and gears and look at the rear and front weights during acceleration and braking. The Vehicle Dynamics I: Accelerating and Braking course will be finished by two applications from automotive mechatronics.

Gear up for the future with Top Automotive Training Programs 2024 for hands-on experience and knowledge.
